Lawmakers Uphold Three-Hour Delay Threshold For Compensation
The European Parliament has voted against revising regulations on air passenger rights, maintaining the three-hour delay threshold for compensation. The decision was made after ministers proposed changes to simplify rules and balance passenger protection with airline interests. MEPs argued that the proposed changes would weaken air passenger rights, and instead voted to maintain existing compensation levels and introduce new measures such as pre-filled forms for compensation. The vote was reported by AeroTime.
